The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow.
Typical components
Most office application suites include at least a word processor and a spreadsheet element. In addition to these, the suite may contain a presentation program, database tool, graphics suite and communications tools. An office suite may also include an email client and a personal information manager or groupware package.
Current suites
-
The currently dominant office suite is Microsoft Office, which is available for Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh. It has become a proprietary de-facto standard in office software.
An alternative is any of the OpenDocument suites, that use the free OpenDocument file format, defined by ISO/IEC 26300. The most prominent of these is OpenOffice.org , open-source software that is available for Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and other platforms. OpenOffice.org supports many of the features of Microsoft Office, as well as most of its file formats, and has spawned several derivatives such as NeoOffice, a port for Mac OS X that integrates into its Aqua interface, and StarOffice, a commercial version by Sun Microsystems.
